Others What paper target did you shoot today?

[JimT66]

I wish it was that simple but I live in the woods. Im surrounded by nature.

Not that I mind, but the real issue I have is armadillos. Little boogers dig up holes all over my yard.

They only come out at night and Im not sure a head shot will work, but maybe the only option. And I dont have night vision scope (yet). Good excuse to invest in one though. lol

Just get you a good underbarrel or side mount for a good light. Your regular scope will pick it up no problem. That's what I use on my .22 with 18 grain hades. Works like a champ on the 'Dillos every time. And while it may sound unethical to some, those filthy disease carrying beasts don't get the head shot 90% of the time. 1 good solid shot at 15 to 20 yards and the hades will scramble around inside they shell, doing all the damage needed to solve the problem. Of course, now that I have my .25 avenger, longer shots will be easier, so should head shots. It's hard sneaking up close to armadillos.

My son has that one. Bought it for him a few years ago, and he still shoots it and likes it. He has taken bunches of squirrels with it.

Just gonna say it ....5 shots out of a springer when testing new ammo don't mean much to me. Now get another 5 or 10 on there man! I'm gonna need to get me a tin of those.
